I agree gays should have their equal rights but dont confuse it will special privlidges. Blacks took equal rights and now completely abusing it and constantly pulling the race card when there is no racial discrimination. Just b/c a gay gets beat up by others doesnt ALWAYS mean its gay hate. It really is case by case. Gay activists seem to think its ALWAYS gay hate. This is flawed and divisive thinking. That said, gays tend to be the most closed minded and bigoted folks out there. TRUST me...i know........if you're following me here. Take a look at all the divisive homos throwing glitter on political candidates. Try doing this to a gay person and gay activists would cry gay hate. My point here is, equal rights YES, special treament NO,rational gays YES,irrational victim minded gays NO.
No matter what, there is always discrimination in everything. It's unfortunately embedded in our culture. In the United States; the White, upperclass, straight male is at the top. And there is a decline in the rest. I know there is no blatant discrimination in every situation, but it's still there. The mere fact that "the race card" can be used implies that there is discrimination...
When we can all be called P-E-O-P-L-E who receive equal pay, treatment, rights, and responsibilities, discrimination will have ended. There is discrimination implied by the terms "gay" "black", etc. They unfortunately imply difference which ultimately implies inequality.
No one goes on to say "rational STRAIGHTS yes, irrational STRAIGHTS no." It doesn't seem necessary, does it? Because straight=dominant=better=not having to be explained or identified as a group. You simply referring to homosexuals as "the gays" is in itself, a form of discrimination. Clearly you don't mean it, let's be clear. However, until terminology with negative stigmas are automatically obsolete, in that we can all just be referred to as PEOPLE, there will always be discrimination. Discrimination isn't always an blatant act, it can be found everywhere - even common-day vocabulary.
Onto another point you make, Whites use the "race card" just as much as blacks. You just don't see this happening in the media because even the media is inadvertently discriminatory against people different from them. Ultimately, they chose the stories they share. Hence why you never see "White man discriminated against" etc... You also take a tone that implies blacks were "given" rights and that they should earn them? Who did white people earn rights from? Why is it that white people can decide to give blacks rights? You also make a statement that implies that white people don't take advantage of their rights. White people are in fact, the most guilty of it! Look at all the politicians!? Most white, and most crooks! That's just one example. I'm just mind-boggled that you believe only blacks play the "race card" and that their rights were taken by them, when really... they have every HUMAN right to them, because they are people? right? Why is it that white people make these decisions?
I know your post wasn't intentionally discriminatory or derogatory but I hope you see the ignorance and hypocrisy in what you said.
Let's go through it again:
"Blacks took equal rights and now completely abusing..." - This to me implies that you believe blacks shouldn't have rights because they took their rights and abused them. However, my point against it would be Whites historically and factually abuse their rights everyday. Everyone is guilty of abusing their rights. But one race should NEVER have to gain or earn rights from another race. This in itself implies inadvertent discrimination.
If there was such a thing as "Straight Hate" I'm sure you'd be a strong activist against it too. Yes, not all acts against gay people are gay hate. However, Gay Hate DOES exist therefore it needs to be fought. Think about it the other way around. How about if Gay people were beating up, killing, harassing, bullying straight people. Would you say "just because a straight kid gets hit doesn't mean it's straight-hate" When, in fact, it was a group of Gays that beat the kid up? Please take a broader look at the subject and understand where others are coming from. No, it's not all Gay hate. But again, the simple fact that there is Gay hate implies inequality and discrimination.
I'm done. :banana:
